Dessert tables are always a favorite of wedding guests. It’s a chance for the bride and groom to share something that they love with their friends and family, and the guests opportunity to fill up on sweets. There are many ways you can go about it, and the most popular one is a candy bar. But what else is out there besides an assortment of jelly beans or hard candy? Here are some unique ideas for dessert tables at your wedding reception!
Pink dessert table designed by Amy Atlas. Love the festive candied apples, cupcakes and truffles that all tie together to match a bold palette. The great thing about chocolates and other candies is that they can be decorated to match any theme.
Ice cream bar and coke float station, and Smores table found on Brides.com. How clever is this smores table? I love the candles and fondu utensils for the marshmallows, the apothecary jars are a great touch and perfect for presentation. The coke float table is also a great idea, it’s a nice way to mix up how your guests can use the ice cream: either make a sundae, or make a float! Love the vintage parlor glasses as well.
Make your own sundae ice cream parlor found on Eat Drink Chic. I just adore this vintage setup with all the fixings for an amazing sundae. The presentation is just fantastic, and you can really make it work with any theme. After all, who doesn’t love a sundae? All these types of containers can be found at Ikea, which makes it a budget friendly idea also. It may look pricey, but you can do it yourself much cheaper.
Gorgeous tables!
We have a check list for a do it yourself s’mores bar here http://blog.plushpuffs.com/2010/03/04/do-it-yourself-gourmet-smores-bar/. It’s a basic necessity list, but people get really creative, like the examples here!
ooops one more comment. Those little tea lights will take FOREVER to toast a marshmallow. Also, we’ve found that tea lights make the ‘mallows taste terrible. Anyone who wants to try this should get cans of Sterno instead. They will fit nicely into those burners or a ramekin.
